Endogenous Innovation,the Organization of Work and Institutional Context

Drawing on the results of the third Community Innovation Survey and the third European Working Conditions Survey, this paper develops aggregate indicators at the national level of innovation modes and forms of work organization for the 15 member nations of the European Union in 2000. The analysis based on these indicators demonstrates that there is a close connection between how people work and learn in a country and the way firms＇ innovate. Specifically, it shows that in nations where work is organized to support high levels of discretion in solving complex problems firms tend to be more active in terms of endogenous innovation, i.e. innovation developed, at least to some degree, in house. In countries where learning and problem-solving on the job are more constrained, and little discretion is left to the employee, firms tend to engage in a supplier-dominated innovation strategy. The technological renewal of these firms reflects, almost exclusively, absorption of innovations developed elsewhere.

科学工作假说(Working Hypothesis)是科学创新的基础

中国第四纪研究委员会成立50年来,第四纪科学已进于一个新的后第四纪研究时代了。显著的特点是研究工作由描述性向理念性,由区域性向全球性,由学科性向系统科学性迈进。在此过程中“科学工作假说”的不断出现,是促进其生长的动力。在1950年代对中国黄土成因的许多不同的假说促进了后来中国黄土研究的发展。当前中国第四纪研究的许多关于全球变化问题的科学假说,将开辟一个第四纪研究的新时代。

Fostering firm innovativeness:Understanding the sequential relationships between human resource practices,psychological empowerment,innovative work behavior,and firm innovative capability

This study investigated the relationships between human resource(HR)practices,employee psychological empowerment,employee innovative work behavior,and firm innovation capability in the context of the Information and Communication Technology(ICT)sector in Jordan.Employing the Social Exchange Theory(SET)as a guiding framework,this study explored how employee psychological empowerment and innovative work behavior mediated the influence of HR practices on a firm’s innovative capabilities.Drawing on extensive data collected from ICT organizations in Jordan,our analysis had several key findings.A significant positive correlation between HR practices and psychological empowerment was observed.Job design emerged as the most influential factor affecting psychological empowerment,whereas compensation had a weaker impact.Furthermore,we established that psychological empowerment significantly enhanced innovative work behavior,underscoring its role as a catalyst for innovative work behavior within the sector.Finally,our study supported the theory that psychological empowerment influenced a firms’innovation capabilities,emphasizing the pivotal role of employee empowerment in driving firm-level innovation in the Jordanian ICT sector.These findings provide insights for academic and practical audiences,clarifying how HR practices,employee psychological empowerment,and innovative work behavior collectively influenced firm innovation capability within the unique context of the Jordanian ICT sector.

Constructive Approximation by Superposition of Sigmoidal Functions

In this paper, a constructive theory is developed for approximating func- tions of one or more variables by superposition of sigmoidal functions. This is done in the uniform norm as well as in the L^p norm. Results for the simultaneous approx- imation, with the same order of accuracy, of a function and its derivatives （whenever these exist）, are obtained. The relation with neural networks and radial basis func- tions approximations is discussed. Numerical examples are given for the purpose of illustration.

Innovative Thinking on Architectural Painting Coursework

How to reflect the innovation in students'works depends on the introduction of the theme,the creation of which is the soul of the course work.The innovative thinking of themes is the key point of the course design.Innovation will be directly reflected in the results of students'course works.The presentation form of student works is also the key point of innovation.Students can cooperate to complete a certain scale of combined painting works,which can not only highlight the innovative form of course works,but also improve their cooperation and innovation spirit.As far as the innovation is concerned,continuity is essential.The creation of course work needs to be continued and expanded.Students of each grade continuously create various themes in their course works,which are related to each other.After years of accumulation,the architectural painting course works will be presented as a series of large collections of theme works.

How to establish a first-class international scientific journal in China?

Hundreds of scientific journals are published in China. However, only scores of them are included in Science Citation Index by the Institute for Scientific Information, with impact factors of only 1 or less. Thus, how to establish a first-class international scientific journal in China is an important but difficult topic that deserves extensive exploration. World Journal of Gastroenterology (WJG) sets a good example although it has experienced setbacks on the road towards success. Concepts and pursuits that affirm the overall development direction, innovation and dreams that provide impetus and aspiration for higher objectives, team work and unique pattern that assure excellent quality and service, and culture and environment that also determine the speed and direction of the development, are believed to be the major factors contributing to the success of WJG. It is recommended that the effective resolution to the above issue is to learn from Chinese examples such as WJG rather than from “how foreign journals do”.

高绩效工作系统如何影响员工创新行为--组织认同与服务型领导的作用

积极促进员工创新行为对企业发展具有重要意义,高绩效工作系统是影响员工创新行为的重要前因变量,但现有文献对其影响机理的研究尚显不足。基于社会交换理论与社会认同理论,运用多层线性模型探究了组织认同在高绩效工作系统与员工创新行为之间的中介作用以及服务型领导的调节作用。研究结果表明,高绩效工作系统对员工创新行为具有显著正向影响,组织认同在高绩效工作系统与员工创新行为之间发挥部分中介作用,服务型领导在高绩效工作系统与员工创新行为之间发挥正向调节作用,服务型领导在高绩效工作系统与组织认同之间也发挥正向调节作用,服务型领导正向调节组织认同在高绩效工作系统与员工创新行为之间的中介效应,即服务型领导水平越高,中介效应越显著。
